The process probably works for a student or for someone that can decide about his projects without important of frequent interferences from someone else. Consider this example (from my direct experience). I create my project list A, B, C, D. I start to work hard on it. My boss call me....or a client email me...they have something urgent...they need a feedback within tomorrow or even today (this is just routine and not exception in many work settings)...Now I have a new project E to cope with...I cannot tell my boss or my client to wait until I have finished A, B, C, D...I need to add E to the list and put another item in standby. If you transfer this in real life you will see that very easily you will be have to have very flexible priorities, constantly being updated and you will probably have to reconsider your commitments and some of your projects will be probably be left back against your wishes...
